r Renewed August 16, 1938 1 Claim. (Cl. 22177) This invention relates toliquid dispensing-debarrel I0 with the barrel standing on end, I havevices and more particularly to a liquid dispensing provided a dispensingmeans comprising a pipe means of the-pressure type adapted for dispensl4which is adapted to extend downwardly in'gfuel, oil, or the like 1through the boss l3 and into the interior of the '5 Anobject'of thisinvention is to provide a barrel I 0. This pipe l4 at its inner end ispro- 5 pressure operated means which may be engaged vided with a nipple5 having a Strainer with a conventional liquid holding receptacle socured therein andpreferably the lower end of the that the: liquid in thereceptacle may be disnipple I5 is notched, as at IT, so that the nipplepensed, as maybe desired, by ,means of a liquid l5 may contact directlywith the inner surface 10 dispensing valve or nozzle. of the bottom l8of the barrel ID. in 4 Another object of this invention is to provide Aflexible hose l9 has one end thereof secured, a pump of this'characterwhich may be threadas by a clamping device 20, to the upper or outerably 'engaged with a barrel or like receptacle in end of the dischargepipe 14 and a relatively stiff which' fuel or oil is're'ceived "so thata person may wire 2| is wound about the hose or flexible memthe fuelbeing under air pressure so 'thatthe'fuel this hose l9 and the upper endof the pipe l4 so or liquid will beio'rced into thedispensing hose as toprevent kinking of the hose l9. A discharge and outth'rough' thedispensing valve or nozzle. valve 22 of conventional construction issecured A further object of this invention isv'to protothe opposite orouter end of the hose I9 and is form of an air pump and a. liquiddispensing line An air pressure casing 24 is disposed loosely which maybe detachably engaged with different about the pipe l4 and at its lowerend is prosizes of containers or barrels so that a person revided withstepped threaded portions 25 of difsiding on the farm or the like maybuy fuel or ferent diameters so that the lower end of the 25 oil indifferent sized containers and conveniently casing 24 may be threadedinto the outlet open- 25 dispense the fuel or oil directly to a tractoror ings of barrels which are of different diameters. the like, thuseliminating the necessity of taking In this manner, it is not necessaryto provide a the liquid out of the container into a smaller specialcoupling means for barrels of different container and then pouring theliquid into the sizes and which may be provided with a particuvehicle ortank, as may be the case. lar outlet opening in each size. 30 With theforegoing and other objects in view, The lower end of the casing orhousing 24' is the invention will be more fully described hereinprovidedwith an annular flange 26 whichv is after, and will be more particularlypointed out adapted to engage the outer edge of the boss IS in the claimappended hereto. and a gasket or like sealing member may be in- 5 a likeor corresponding parts throughout the sevso as to properly seal thehousing 24 on to the era] views, 7 barrel ID.

As shown in Fig- 45 such as iscommonly used for holding liquid fuel ure 2, the lower end of the casing24 is provided or oil and which is provided in one end thereof with arelatively large bore 3| which is disposed with athreaded boss 43 and athreaded plug H. loosely about the pipe l4 so that air from the cas-'The boss I3 is adapted-to be used for removing ing 24 may flowdownwardly into the interior of the liquid from the barrel l0 and theplug. is the barrel Ill. preferably inserted in the intake opening ofthe A pump cylinder 32 is threaded, as at 33, into barrel l0. t a sideof the air chamber or housing 24' and is In order'to provide a meanswhereby the fuel provided with a plunger 34 having a rod 35 seor liquidl2 positioned within the barrel I!) may cured thereto which extendsoutwardly through be conveniently and quickly removed from the the outerend 36 and is provided with an operating handle 31. The end 36 isprovided with an inlet opening 38 so that air may readily enter thecylinder 32 on the outer side of the plunger 34.

v The inner end 39 of the pump cylinder 32 is pro:

vided with an axial opening 40 which is closed by an inwardly openingcheck valve 4|. The valve 4| is provided. with a pair of opposed arms 42which loosely engage guide members 43 carried by the inner end 39. Anair relief valve 44 is threadedinto the casing 24 and is adapted to beopened when it is desired to relieve the air pressure within theinterior of the barrel l0. v

The discharge nozzle 22 may be held in inoperative position by means ofa supporting device comprising a U-shaped clip 45 secured to a standard46 which is provided with a clamp 41 which is clamped about the pipe I4.It will be understood that either the nozzle 22 or the hose I9 may beengaged in this supporting clip 45 so as to hold the nozzle 22 in amanner to prevent the nozzle from coming into contact with 'dirt or thelike.

In the use and operation of this dispensing means, the pipe 14 isinserted into the barrel 19 until the inner end l5 thereof contacts withthe bottom i8. At this time, the nut 29 is relatively loose in the upperend of the housing 24 so that the housing 24 may then be moveddownwardly with respect to the pipe I4for threaded engagement with thethreaded boss l3. By means of. the nut 29, the device hereinbeforedescribed may be used with barrels of different heights, this; beingpossible by the slidable mounting of the pipe l4 in the-housing 24 sothat the pipe l4 may be readily adjusted tofit into any size of barrelwith the inner end I5 engaging the bottom of the barrel and then the nut29 tightened so as to seal the pipe I4 relative to the housing 24. Thehousing 24 may then be tightly threaded into the boss I3 whereupon thenut 29 may be specifically described embodiment of this inventionwithout departing from'the spirit thereof, such changes andmodifications being restricted only by the scope of the following claim.a h

I claim:

A liquid dispensing means for use with a res ceptacle containing liquid,comprising a housing,

a threaded nipple carried by one end of said housing and constitutingmeans to secure the housing onto saidreceptacle, a liquid discharge pipeextending vertically through said housing and said nipple, the exteriorsurface of said pipe being disposed in spaced relation to the interiorsurface of. said nipple, a gland threadably engaging the opposite end ofthe housing and engaging about said pipe in a manner to seal said pipein the upper portion of said housing and to support said pipe from saidhousing, an air pump secured to said housing intermediate the endsthereof, said air pump including a cylinder, an inner wall carried bysaid cylinder having an opening therethroughj, a check valve for saidopening carried by said end wall, saidfcheck valve opening inwardly ofsaid housing, a plunger slidable in said cylinder, (operating means forsaid plunger, and a relief valve secured to :said housing.
